Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha preview, code-named Intrepid Ibex, was released this week. The main policy of this version of Ubuntu is to improve support for low-cost portable computers and mobile internet devices.

According to official information, the new Ubuntu 8.10 will not only support these devices, but also optimize Intel Atom processor products. In the recent test of MSI Wind PC, the Ubuntu 8.04 system is temporarily unavailable.

In addition, based on the advantages of low-cost laptops, Ubuntu will better support mobile networks, improve startup time, and support USB mode installation. The network configuration will use the improved NetworkManager program, and the new version included in Ubuntu 8.10 adds the 3G network feature. The boot speed problem is that Ubuntu focuses on improving mobile devices. According to Ubuntu, the startup time of Ubuntu can be reduced to 6.31 seconds through the pre-storage and load forecasting mechanism.

The final point is that most low-cost ultra-portable laptops do not have optical drives because of their size, which makes it difficult for users to install the Linux release version, some smart users use USB storage devices for USB installation. Ubuntu 8.10 supports converting Live CD to Live USB. You can create a USB mounting disk as needed.
